BJP politics: They are just creating trouble

BJP has launched its campaign to hoist country’s national flag at Lal Chowk Srinagar on 26th of January 2011. Though most of the Indians know that it is nothing unusual, but the people outside India, mostly those unaware of the ground realities of Kashmir, may be mistaken that BJP is going to conquer an other country which was not part of India and India’s national flag will be first time hoisted in the country called “Kashmir”. What a ridiculous approach of the party which enjoys the status of National Political party. In fact , BJP has proved with its approach that India’s National flag was never hoisted in Kashmir and this is an event first of its kind which is going to happen on 26th January 2011. Though it is not something new or interesting for the people of Jammu and Kashmir as they have been witnessing this event every year since 1947 when the flag is hoisted in all district headquarters of the state and even at tehsil and block levels with full official fanfare. But, perhaps the BJP is not satisfied with it and they even doubt the integrity and nationalism of the government. The BJP should understand that Kashmir was not a territorial, but a political issue. It can't be finished by just a flag hoisting ceremony which you will do under a full security cover. The problem is on the other side. National Conference leadership is deliberately giving hype to the issue so that a message is given to the Kashmiri Muslims that NC is only savior of Kashmiris. That is playing politics.
